Los Angeles Periodontist, Dr. Sharyar Baradaran, Offers Comprehensive Treatments for Correction of Gummy Smiles

    LOS ANGELES, CA, July 28, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Los Angeles periodontist, Dr. Sharyar Baradaran, is now offering comprehensive corrective care for patients with gummy smiles. Between 12 and 15 percent of adults have gummy smiles, which can cause self-consciousness or embarrassment. "Sometimes it's a soft tissue situation, but there also could be too much bone," said Dr. Baradaran. Identifying the reason for a gummy smile is the first step in finding the right treatment for the problem.

Common gummy smile treatment options include gum contouring and crown lengthening. Crown lengthening is a special treatment that can be used to remove excess gum or bone tissue to expose more of the tooth's natural crown. "Quite often, we also have to contour and sculpt the bone underneath slightly," said Dr. Baradaran, expert in crown lengthening. This can make the teeth look longer and more proportionate with the rest of the smile. Gum contouring works similarly but may also be used to restore tissue that has been lost for a balanced, even gum line. "This procedure offers a fantastic result that will stay forever," Dr. Baradaran said.

Gummy Smile Treatment

Cosmetic treatments for gummy smiles include many options, but patients can also take advantage of gingival pigmentation removal, which can lighten naturally dark gums and remove discolorations due to stains or other issues. Dr. Baradaran, Los Angeles gummy smile expert, offers corrective treatments for patients with all stages of periodontal disease, including scaling and root planing, pocket reduction surgery, gum grafts, bone grafts and guided tissue regeneration.
